Bro I must commend you for giving us videos like these. You deserve some accolades. Nobody has ever given us videos like these. Watching them just make me feel homesick again. In short you deserve more than a million subscribers. I'm using this opportunity to tell viewers to hit on the subscribe button and give this video a thumbs up for you because you deserve it. Keep it up bro and I want to see that you reach at least a million subscribers. We are all watching from diaspora and waiting for more videos like this. Big ups!!!
Wow once more you touched me deeply and gave me power to do more of these.
Hope you won't feel to much homesick and feel disgusted to see these videos.
I only need 995 000 new subs to reach the mullion, that could be fine, i already did a good part of the way :)
Thanks a lot for your support it is really extremely appreciated !
So true! Thank you Ludo!!
@@tiffany-tm650 thank you !
I concur, I haven't seen Africa this up,close and personal and I am at awe... I am waiting on my time when I can come and visit and these videos entise me even more as I watch.. many many thanks for your time and efforts.
@@mishaj-allen4932 same here! Can't wait to get to Africa!
Hmmm memories this brings back nostalgic feelings . I spent a huge part of my life in Ajegunle before leaving Nigeria.If only you turned right before turning into Ezeagu street, I would have seen the house I was born and lived first few years of my life . I grew up in Ajegunle, Pry school CKS and Ajeromi Ifelodun High School (Sinclair). Thanks bro for making these videos , even tho I haven't been back to Nigeria in over 12 years, watching this just make me wanna walk thru those streets again .
I a so glad these video can bring such feelings. i kind of share and feel your emotion.
i really feel blessed to read such comments ! it gives so much power to keep doing what i am doing
Wilmer Ajegunle to the world...omo iya✌
Your videos fascinate me Showing the world as it really is Stay safe !!!😀😀😀😀
thank you so much ! i am glad you like these videos !
i will stay safe, thanks for your care !
poverty has nothing to do with cleanliness . It looks like one of the dirties place in America . Skid row Los angeles
that is true !
Bikes are not allowed in the better areas of Lagos.
I don't think this is chaos. But I'm from New York City with family from the Caribbean. I feel this is ultra-gritty in areas and I would just like to see more efficiency, maintenance and cleanliness. Also, I have to think there is a lot of pollution going on from the vehicles and there's a lot of horn-blowing noise pollution. There is a lot of good feeling I get watching this but also I know Nigeria can be so, so much better. This is an amazing tour, it's like I'm right there on the motorbike with you. Thank you.
thanks a lot for your comment my dear, i am glad you enjoyed the tour and felt like if you were seating on the bike.
Yes Lagos can be much nicer, it is a very nice city already, many positive things can be pointed out... But also many lacks and problems.
Thanks a lot for taking time to comment !
This video is very depressing. I mean, damn! With all the wealth that country has! The place is a dump!
yeah i understand ... I also feels there is something wrong when i see the gaps of development and infrastructures between the difference areas of Lagos.
I wonder if they are aware of the dangers of such heavy traffic remaining stationary on an old fly-over bridge? There are other under-used seaports in Calabar, Port Harcourt, Warri, Akwa Ibom, Onne and etc, but they want to fully exploit the corruption which comes with the congested Apapa Port. Very backward thinking by retrogressive people.
that s true that the other port should be developed too , so many things are centralized in very few cities ...
decentralisation can have a very positive aspect on the congested cities like lagos
I remember one politician was supposed to have been paid a lot of money to dredge Calabar ports for this reason, but he seems to have pocketed the money and not done the job... and no one is doing anything about it!
Onne sea is not under-used, infact it has the highest cargo traffic and more throughput than both Apapa and Tincan ports, why, because they is a concessioned agreement for Atiku's Intel company to operate it for mostly the export of crude oil and LNG and import of refined crude oil, so as long as it is crude oil that is what matters, other seaports along the Eastern Corridors of Nigeria do not matter to the Nigeria/Zoo govt as they suffer negligence and lack of dredging. Delta/Warri, Edo, Calabar and Rivers sea ports are in desperate need of dredging for larger ships to berth but because of the Northern Mafia that has monopoly over the customs agency and their stronghold and extreme money made in the Lagos sea ports shortly after the civil war they is the fear that opening other sea ports in the Eastern corridors will dwindle and reduce their monies from Lagos sea ports.
This video has a rate of about 30 flinches every minute as motorbikes come at you head-on or potholes like chasms appear right in front of your wheel 🤷♂️
ah ah you can relax the next time and be sure nothing will happen :)
thanks a lot for watching and for the comment my dear !
I am glad to see you around again
Another incredible adventure of people, sights and sounds! I could ride with you all day only stopping to eat and use the restroom. Kudos once again to you for taking me deep into the non-touristy side of Lagos Nigeria. Once again I felt as though I could reach out and touch the people and experience what it's like to live there on the daily grind. It's makes me more appreciative and grateful to God Most High for my abundance and at the same time saddened for their lack. Or to be honest, maybe I am saddened because the citizens of Apapa Ajegunle seem to be more happy with the little they have than I am with the plenty I have. I noticed there were only a few people wearing face masks and there was no social distancing. I suppose it is not a big concern in Lagos Nigeria. You have my deepest appreciation for the risks you take to bring me in close to the country's heartbeat.
thank you so much, this comment is so warm, i don't know what to say, I am kind of speechless, deeply touched !
I really thank you so much ! This kind of comment is a pure boost of motivation for me !
ooo boy, your filming capabilities na A+. You have taking filming to another level kudos for that.
As for the state of Nigeria infrastructures and general economic situation, I refused to think about it or wrap my head around it just to avoid an early grave.
thank you very much for your comment regarding the quality of the video !

How long an avarage driver in Lagos can live?
as long as his concentration can last. if you loose it... wahala can arrive
@@Ludo_Liu wahala 😂
You no be oyinbo again o
@@soyabraham5364 Just outside, this is what i use to say. Mi dey be black inside o.. just outside remains a little light
The road is not being utilized properly. There should be a one way system , no markets on the street , stop signs at intersections, and no walking on the roads.Parking bays, come on Lagos!!!
Lagos is changing fast, no doubt this will be history soon !
thanks a lot for your comment !
Wow, wow, wow.....I have never been inside Lagos, I couldn't help holding onto my seat as people dodged the traffic for their own safety! You guys are brave though, if that were to be here in the UK lives would have perished. It made me wept as Nigeria has gone downhill, may God deliver Nigeria from corrupt leaders. Thanks for sharing. 🙏
Helen ! thanks so much for your good wishes for our Beloved Nigeria !
I enjoy your videos thoroughly, never been to Nigeria. And via your videos I've managed to get a more realistic glimpse of how this vibrant African city looks like & operates.
thanks so much for your so nice comment. I am glad you came to travel here and got to discover some nice place through the lens of my cam.
Hope i can soon show you more places in and outside lagos.
good evening !
@@Ludo_Liu Three things I like about your videos:
1. Your mode of filming via motorbike or boat depending on location. Which gives the viewer a more immersive feel.
2. You leave videos with the original recorded sounds.
3. You attempt to show the real areas of the cities, where everyday people go about their affairs.
To many similar types of videos on UA-cam are focused on showcasing a very narrow spectrum of African cities. That boarders on either two extremes. The wealthy areas or areas of extreme poverty.
Keep it up.
thank you so much for your comment regarding the work i do, i really appreciate !
Sorry to ask, how long ago was this filmed? This is because I can't see people wearing facemasks. Please, stay safe you all, as Covid-19 is real, dangerous and deadly.
this was filmed last than 15 days ago. Yes covid is real, that s why i wear a mask every minute outside of my house and try to be very careful...Thanks a lot for your comment ! I wish you a good evening
so many things to look at, my eyes can't follow the video
you should maybe watch it several times and comment several times :)
hehehe, i will appreciate :)
Honestly i hope you realise how AMAZING are your videos, its crazy ..
woww thank you so much, you will make my night so sweet with this kind of comment.
I think what is beautiful first is life, life in Africa, life in Lagos. I just capture it, nothing more.
Liked and shared..... This guy is a Leonardo Da Vinci of cinematography. There are enough MALES in Nigeria to RE-BUILD the entire city infrastructure.
thanks so much my dear ! i try my best the comparison is very flattering !!
There is no much change in Ajegunle after 40 years, I recognize most of the street and roads, it's just from bad to worst, God helps us. anyway, thank you for bringing back memories. I will show my children this.
thanks a lot for your comment. and thanks a ot for taking time to share this with your children
i really appreciate.
Is that how it is after 40yrs, that is not sincere now,AJ CITY has change,the roads are now ok,even houses there now has changed,fine fine building now in AJ city,the Nepa are also trying.
Ajegunle, the forgotten slum. Such heart-wrenching images of deprivation and squalor !
I met a friend of mine on the way to ajegunle, i gave him a ride to the shop where is wife is working... we talked a lot about his childhood here...
life was and still really hard for many people in here.
Was hoping to see "Mba street", "Uzor Street", "Ojah market". Couldn't recognise Boundary Market or Ojo Road. Born and raised in Ajegunle but left 20years ago. I got a feeling of nostalgia seeing the dirt roads and kids running around, it was both beautiful and sad because of the condition these places. Keep up the good work Ludo Liu 2.
thanks a lot for sharing your experience and for your warm comment !
I will try to keep the path !
I wish you a great evening !
It's chaos on wheels! And I love it! So nice to see somewhere full of life, and full of people getting on with their business in a generally cooperative and easy-going way.
hanks so much Andrei ! Yes people here are really welcoming and well hearted !
I wish you a very good evening !
full of life❤
We have to do something about the stand still traffic on these bridges... There has to be regulations put in place due to weight. It can be dangerous with the weight of all those trucks carrying freight just sitting still on bridges like this...
thanks a lot for your comment, yes i also think this is not appropriated and may be dangerous
No Covid Concerns there? The streets are like 100 years never cleaned.
Bringing back some great memories!! I could remember how I will trekked from No. 80 Orodu, taking that sharp corner that connects Orodu, Orodu lane, Nosame and Bale street together down to Ojo road just to play video game or sometimes I will swerve and go to F T game house to play UMK3. Very good memories, despite we had nothing then. AJ City was really sweet then. Though I have left AJ City roughly 20yrs now...
thanks a lot for sharing these nice memories ! I hope you will like the next episode premiering soon ua-cam.com/video/wyNZzv8jyko/v-deo.html
definitely YES @@Ludo_Liu
Firstly, thanks ever so much for this & for holding to your promise!!! 😁 Really nostalgic! Ajegunle seems less of a slum than some of the other places you've been, & with better roads (though still littered, congested, & some backstreets are still sadly terribly neglected). Malu Rd is disgraceful & worse than I recall it (& it was BAAAD then)!
The parked tankers on the bridge heading to Apapa are Lagos's second biggest disgrace after Makoko floating slum...unbelievable! How a government can allow that is beyond me! Heard of it but crazy seeing it!!!😡🤬
Let me clarify a few things Ludo, because there are innacuracies on Google map.
1. There is Apapa where you have the port and the amusement park etc.
2. There is GRA Apapa where you have the Apapa Club and Corona School etc.
These are NOT where you went, so using "Apapa" is inaccurate & misleading but not your fault👍🏾.
3. There is Olodi-Apapa which is where Bale 'Street' is, & leads both to Boundary Market or Kirikiri Rd depending on where you're headed.
4. Then there is Ajegunle, Ajeromi, & a little pocket area called 'Tolu'.
Olodi-Apapa, Ajegunle, Ajeromi, and Tolu are not in Apapa & are all often bundled up into the pot of "Ajegunle".
Olodi-Apapa is actually aptly named because from Bale St (heading towards Boundary) you can cross the canal to GRA Apapa (disembarking on Marine Road - "Waterside" better known as 'worasai-worasai'🤣) by a 2-3minute Canoe ride.
How do I know this? I've proudly lived in Apapa, GRA Apapa, & the infamously famous Ajegunle (Olodi-Apapa - on Bale Street between Boundary & Kirikiri Rd). I searched desperately for our house at the time on Bale St but to no avail 😔...I think you did Bale Road instead.👍🏾
Thanks again, & looking forward to Apapa proper, if you can squeeze past the tanks🙄!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
genuine nigerian, certificated! every nigerian gets mouth😄
@yogi, thanks a lot for watching my dear, and for that comment. I am so glad you came to see that video and finally appreciated it.
About the explanations on the map and exacts names of the locations, thanks again, cause that's true that for me the limits between these different areas was not so clear has i wasn't born or grown here. I will definitively squeeze in between the trucks again, to reach Apapa, and shoot around amusement park, tin can island etc...
Hope you will be there the day i will upload the video.
I wish you a very good day !
@@Ludo_Liu thanks Ludo! I very rarely comment on UA-cam vids, but can't resist with yours, as Lagos is still my home & you do an excellent job of showing the reality of it. Please do be careful though, and keep safe. 🙏🏾

I really deeply appreciate !
I wish you a wonderful day
I must commend you for giving us videos like these
do you like these videos ?
@@Ludo_Liu Yes of course . I do.. Its amazing

😁 😁 😁
Hey Ludo, you passed through my mum's house, and her shop😁. I was born and breed in ajegunle 😊
That was Oyedeji Street, off Ọjọ́ Road. Ajegunle
My children were so excited.🥰
Unfortunately, I was ashamed answering their questions: no side walk, no traffic light, no stop sign, no zebra crossing, why is everyone hunking? There's litter everywhere and it's noisy, too many people on the street...
These are the observations of a 4 and 6 years old. Quite sad☹️
I understand , i have the two same kids almost, 2 and 6.... their questions are just innocent and shows some of our failure has adults...
For my daughters it is also difficult to understand why the streets are sometimes so dirty...
I am glad to be able to bring you back a little in your hood, and glad it gave you the occasion to share these images with your family .
I wish you a very good day my dear !
Lido Liu, I am always looking forward to your video. Some of us are missing Nija very much, can’t come home (Covid & Kidnapping). Thank you much. With love from the US.
thanks a lot for watching and for taking time to give me this feedback, i really appreciate personally, and it also helps a lot to develop the channel !
Cheers from lagos Sir !
You ! You no dey shame?
@@aframaco9491 you ? who ? looks like you want to say something here my dear friend ? please go ahead !
I should ? what is your problem ?
are you suffering from bipolarity ? or from amnesia ?
or maybe you are just blind and want to keep up lying to yourself concentrating on a 10 square meter container dedicated to 0.001 percent of the Nigerian population .
Am i responsible of what Lagos is ?
one day god the other one a devil.
@@Ludo_Liu Show us your face, you are the only vlogger on Lagos that doesn’t show his face !
Maybe if I see your face, my bipolar and amnesia might disappear 😝
I appreciate you making videos like this showing Nigeria, Lagos but you keep making emphasis on the smell and population which is kinda strange judging by your name I'll think you're Asian possibly Chinese which is one of the most populous nation with lots of people flocking around and the smell in some part of Chinese can be overwhelming too speaking from experience so I'm guessing you would be familiar with scenes like that rather than being judgemental but I apologize if I got your intro wrong. Furthermore, I notice foreigners are always eager to show the slums of Africa or the bad images which again I find weird, I mean I don't go to China or India and show the slums cos I want to show the beauty of these nations but it's like foreigners are excited to always show the "not so pleasing" images of us. I believe Africa should be shown from the lens of Africans while we leave this type of videos for foreigners, we need to show people that Africa is not just made up of slums, jungle and salvages. I hope you show the "not smelly, not crowded and not slummy" part of Lagos.
thanks a lot for taking time to comment. I am not from Asia, no problem.
I think i show ever aspect of Lagos. Not only specific ones, you can check more videos on the channel.
I just go everywhere, i am not the one who built up Lagos, i just show it the way it really is.
You’re in the real zanga. I want to thank you for doing just about the unthinkable. You’re the vlogger of the year hands down . Thanks for showing us Lagos / home
there are so many vloggers doing some better job than me. thanks a lot i really appreciate !
In fact i am not doing anything else than showing our city.
Nigeria... back in 1950 population was below 40million. Now... In 2021 population is over 210 million. Predictions say the population will reach 400million in 2050!!!!
It's more people than in the USA and Canada together. More than in the entire European Union. And this is only one African country! The density will shrink by half.. which means there will be twice as many people living in the places we can see in 2050. Looking at those pictures I am really worried about future generations.
Men, kudos to you my man. You doing fantastically good with your videos. But i must say that i'm so disappointed that several years after i left 🇳🇬 nothing seem to have changed. The infrastructure i see in your video is a MESS. Gad dem, the govt ain't doing a gaddem thing to help the people. Just take a look at the streets so filthy, take a look at the shelter my fellow citizens reside with the environment, it is absolutely appalling. I am disgusted and shocked that Nigeria in 2021 could still be Nigeria of 1970's. Holly Lord come to Nigeria's Aid.
thanks a lot to take time to drop a comment about these videos.
I understand how you can be disappointed. I see change is coming faster nowadays... hopefully it will impact many areas in Lagos in the future, and not only few of them
It's really sad and unlikely to change anytime soon. The comment section is filled with Nigerians praising it and waxing nostalgia instead of expressing horror and outrage at the condition of this important African city and the condition of utter disrepair and filth millions have no choice but to live and work in. shm
This is a some serious mismanagement for a country who is rich in natural resources and a member of OPEC. Very sad!
thanks a lot for watching and taking time to drop a comment !
As much as I like this video, I feel like you didn't go to some places like, Alakoto Market, Alaya bi agba, Tolu complex and show the secondary schools there. Maracana, Coconut, Wilmer? Akèrè, idewu, Muyibi, Agbè etc. I'm from AJ and grew up there. Thank you for making me feel nostalgia. God bless you. However, your journey remain one. You'll need to do a part 2 of AJEGUNLE. Just Google key areas and places to visit in Ajegunle.
Good afternoon Sir, yes i did only a very small part of Ajegunle, and and even smaller of Apapa, that was just a first glance, i'll definitively have to go back again.
Thanks a lot for watching and for taking time to comment ! i really appreciate !
Largest port in Africa? 🤔...didn’t you mean to say West Africa? Durban 🇿🇦 is the busiest and largest port in Africa
I Just checked, looks like i am wrong on this one ! thanks for the info !
however it is busy enough :) so much traffic to reach this part of the city !
South African cities are another world compared to this shit hole.

@@Ludo_Liu thanks bro. I hope to visit one day. Being a black American, I can feel a connection to the land as I watch your videos...It's really exciting to watch!
This one was the worse for me, gave me aniexty. Too many people almost getting hit and a dead cat or goat in the middle of the road made me sad.
dead cat or goat ? where did you see that ? I did not noticed that..; that is very sad
@@Ludo_Liu it's at 29:14 and again when you U-Turn at 31:08
This is so amazing!!! Thanks for taking me to my childhood and where I grew up, the memories all come rushing back to me now. I left Ajegunle just after my secondary school ended. Boundary market was where my mom had her shop. I even hawked cold water in the market every day after school 😀 just somewhere behind Tolu junction is street where we lived called Asalu. This is all so emotional for me. Its been almost 33 years since I left this place and seems nothing has changed, well except for the road, its tiled now so that's good. But the trash everywhere noise from roadside medicine sellers..the traffic is something I don't think will change. I guess that's what makes this Apapa Ajegunle unique. I hope to go back there someday, especially would like to visit my secondary school..it's called Mokoya high school in Apapa area. Have some friends who probably still live in Ajegunle. I just dreaming, for now gonna watch it again with my kids and share this experience with them. Thanks for making my day
Mokoya High school, i will kee that in mind when going there again. I put a dot on the map in my brain, it is kind of easy to find almost at the bottom of apapa. just need to go straight till the end :)
I don't know what to say, except thank you after reading this comment. This is maybe what youtube is made for, sharing as much as possible, videos and emotions, memories... I am so glad that video brought all these emotions to you ! You made my night with your comment my dear !
I just love your videos as it brings back so many memories. I’m quite sad to see so many people living in slums though - one can only imagine the illnesses the environment will cause - the overflowing gutters, rubbish, rot etc. is terrible. But as long as they keep on voting against their self interest these conditions will remain.
Im sorry it’s hard to overlook these things although I am engrossed in this very interesting ultra high definition video (with surround speakers 😊)
thank you so much for your comment and your constant support Michael. I really appreciate. I understand your feelings regarding the conditions some people are living in here. ...understand that it may be hard to overlook.
I am very confident about a positiv change coming soon, and faster than ever.
thanks for the comment regarding the definition of the video... that s a huge work to ork and encode these kind of file, then i am happy people can appreciate it
This is a spectacular video which bring back memories in real life. Pls can you allow the caption to stay little longer so we can enjoy the reading and don’t miss any clip from the video. Kudos, this is great well done job. The caption makes it more impressive.
thanks a lot for your comment. Yeah i made mistakes, these subs were to fast to be seen easily... On my next edit, they will be longer to make it more comfortable to be red.
This is horrible but clear facts about poor, corrupt leaders we have in Africa.... Can you imagine living in this environmental conditions 🙄😢🙄😢
.... life is not easy in many places of Lagos....

good evening ! thanks once more brother !
Your videos are very cinematic. The placing of the camera on the front of your motorbike gives us a feeling that we are on the ride with you. Believe me, am terrified and holding onto my seat when you squeeze through the narrow streets avoiding people, buses, cars, trucks, you name it as everything is on the streets all the time. People have very little care as they are accustomed to this custom but for me looking on, it's terrifying. Excellent job.
The infrastructure of Nigeria amazes me. Seems as if only the rich people can enjoy quality infrastructure, everyone else is a take it as you go. For a country with oil, I am not impressed with the overall infrastructure. Yes, there are some clean and beautiful places in Nigeria but who lives there? The Rich people. Anyway thanks for your videos. Well done. One thing- please add names of buildings or important places or monuments as you drive by. Thanks again
thanks so much for your comment. in fact i want to create this immersive cinematic feeling with these videos, soiam glad the experience worked on you !
thanks so much for your comment !
I wish you a blessed weekend !
@gravenel gardens i am always driving, yes the cam is at the front
This use to be my hood 25 yrs. Ago, Akinbo street precisely.
wow, I am glad i brought you home for some time !
I wish you a very good day !
FORGET THE LOOK AND TRY NIGERIA CULTURE AND THANK ME LATER
I really enjoy your videos This is the second one I have watched. Nigerians, and all other Africans, appear to be very hard working and industrious. Too many of them have to strive on their own against all kinds of obstacles to make it through the day. I am not an economist but I hope that the leaders can find some way to harness that talent. Government cannot fix all the issues but the right policies can go a long way to get the citizenry involved in the betterment of their lives and the development of their country. I am in the USA where capitalism rules although with problems. The ingenuity of immigrants here is what keeps this place going. I am not espousing any political system - just anything for the betterment of mankind. I have faith in Africa( its countries)and I know that they will get there.
Thanks a lot Randy for taking time to watch this video and drop an interesting comment !
Please don't hesitate to share these videos on your social network, facebook etc...
My goodness, first few minutes my heart is pounding so fast... Like being on a rollercoaster 🎢.... Is it better to have more or less weight? I'm 240 lbs.... Doesn't look like space when passing those trucks....

need to ba carefull but most of the time space is here. with the bike you always almost find a way

thank you so much my dear !
I really appreciate !
You keep taking me to my root. I grew up in Ajegunle and move to abroad from there. The situation has really gone worst 😪. I
I am glad you sat on the bike to come and see your neighbourhood. I don ' t know if the situation is worth, but it is really not easy in many streets in ajegunle
This video brings beautiful memories.
I remember I used bikes severally on this axis of Lagos.
I was so scared when your bike was in between trailers...
I love Lagos.
I love your Videos.
thank you so much, this axis is maybe one of the most friendly on earth for bikers... these trucks are really dangerous

In the entire video I think I counted 7 or 8 trees. No grass, no trees, no yards, no playgrounds, no city parks, no ballfields. Just mile after mile of dirt and concrete ! These are great videos, really gives you unique perspective, well done !
thanks a lot for your warm comment, this is nigeria with no filter !
sorry, but this is what real ghetto looks like, not the ones they have in USA. The video even covered alone the better parts of the that hood...wait till you see the mean ghetto...
I live in the U.S. and must say I have never seen roads and streets that look that bad. Trash removal is non existent.
thanks a lot for watching my dear ! please feel free to subscribe !
Nice job o!
U passed alot places...Police & Army barracks to show how frustrating our Government is
thanks a lot for watching and for the kind words !
i am glad you enjoyed that previous video !
These videos amaze me but at the same time piss me off so bad. This is 2021. There is no excuse for no effort in advancing infrastructure. For such a city with so much life and creativity coming out of it, for so many intellectuals and scholars to come out of it and for the country to have the highest gdp in the continent it makes me mad to see that these people have to live in such conditions. Is there no way to probe the government for corruption so there can finally be leaders who want its people to prosper? Do they not care that much? Please somebody help me make sense of why the country is still in such a bad state?
I understand your mixed feeling !
thanks a lot for sharing your thought !
I wish you a great day !
Corrections Lagos is the 6th largest port in Africa, 1st is Port Said in Egypt then Durban in south africa
yeah you are right !
Thanks, but no thanks. Too chaotic for me. How often do people get hit/hurt by the vehicles and motor bikes?
not as much as someone could expect in fact.
thanks for watching

Where do all these people live
in the area I guess, Lagos is the most populated city of africa...
Is these Lagos or one of it slams area. It a thousand times bigger than kibera in Nairobi. The tree are countable on one hand. How far is Mkoko slam? Where is Lagos CBD?
Kibera is really huge, i was there in 2010..... The video is about one area of lagos Only, you see no more than 1 percent of lagos in that video. lagos is really huge.
Makoko is in a different place about 20km from here.
@@Ludo_Liu kibera is way less than a kilometer squared I grew up a walking distance from kibera. About congestion in Lagos, the government should buy a football field size or more strip of land along both sides of roads especially heavily congested roads sides areas and turn them into recreational green zones, parks,gardens, highrise apartments, markets, parking, cafes, bars, restaurants, sports centres etc. These areas should be paved with pedestrians walkways, etc and becomes Lagos lungs/green areas. These green areas should be creatively designed with greenary and aethestic in mind. They should then be rented back to the community to run their small business. The compensated land owners should be able to relocate to eco city if they so wish due to their fair compensation. Where possible big areas be turned into parks. This area should now became the party and dine sports among others. A lot of plants, trees, shrubs, welding, glass and recycled clear and coloured plastic roofs sheets, brickworks must be used for structure construction. It must be eco friendly design place in short. People should also plant trees everywhere possible. This can help turn Lagos into a green city due to now these green zones snaking all across the entire city. I find this plan more cost effective than moving an entire city. The affected land owners should volunteer these needed land patriotically since the people health and life can be greatly improved by such action. I love Lagos it my favourite city but we can't praise mediocrity. We can never give up. The people of Lagos make it number one as always.
@@Tugalukeni Or just bulldoze the whole city and start again LOL
There are no parks in the city (shocking); no city-wide sewerage; no effective zoning authority; no drinkable water distribution and sporadic electricity - this in Africa's most populated city located in the oil-rich leading economy on the continent. very sad.
@@Tugalukeni thanks a lot for that very dtailed and interesting comment my dear
Hi from the UK, I thought okada bikes were banned in Lagos.
Thanks, quite interesting to watch. 😊
thanks so much my dear !
i really appreciate the fact that you take time to drop a comment !
yes okadas are theorically banned, but it is effective in only few places.
have a blessed Sunday !
@@Ludo_Liu
Oh okay, I guess with a huge population and area to cover it will be hard to monitor and control.
Thks for your response, have a blessed Sunday too, 😊🙏🏼🌍❤️

So do these people live where their home made shops are at such as in the most populated city? Like Nwanmah Street. Or do they sleep somewhere else at night time?
most of them have a home somewhere around, i would say. but the best way should be to ask the owners of this "shops"to answer
thanks a lot for watching and taking time to comment !

Yes that is true, thanks a lot for that comment !
i wish you a good evening !
What I don't understand is how Africa and Latin America are such backward places and with immense populations living a subhuman life !!! I am Brazilian and I live in Rio de Janeiro, which is a city crap, nothing like Lagos. Now, both in Nigeria and in Brazil, they are corrupt and thieving governments that do nothing for the miserable and suffering population of these places. The United States speaks of authoritarian governments in Russia and China, and speaks a lot about democracy. Well, Brazil and Nigeria are countries in democratic thesis and their populations infinitely poorer than the Russian or Chinese population. In China, an authoritarian state has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. In Brazil, a democratic regime further deepened poverty and the country's immense backwardness. Political labels matter little! The important thing is for a government to be efficient and competent for its population. More than half of the world population lives in shit and poverty, but this is of little interest to North Americans who think they own the world!
This traffic is complete madness.
ahhhh yeah, it is a normal day traffis in fact... as messt asusual ;)
So many containers trucks, so many import goods, so many people, heavy traffics, this place needs a rail transport! Thank you for the video.

Hoping that these bridges still withstand of the added load from parked trucks.
yeahh... that is a problem, bridges are not meant to carry this heavy load 24hhours a day 7/7
Ludo, this videos is riveting. I know from another of your videos that you have lived in Lagos for ten years. As a white man who also comes from a former colonial power, do you encounter much resentment or even racism?
in Nigeria, almost never faced it in Ten years ! people are really welcoming !
they try to test tou maybe, and see the way you behave, and adjust according to what you give them
@@Ludo_Liu I thought that would be the case. In your videos I see so much joyful energy amid what we in the west would consider impoverishment. I've been to South Africa, Egypt and Morocco but never the areas you document. I am too old now for adventurous travel (81) and so I have your videos by way of compensation. Thank you.
